Error when trying to use Transkribus model Stockholm Notaries 1700 2.1 for Swedish
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Very excited to get Transkribus integrated into Wikisource. I just tried to transcribe this page on the Swedish Wikisource, but got an error when using the Stockholm Notaries 1700 2.1 model. I can select e.g. a German model and that works, but the transcripts I get with that are obviously not great.

Error message reads: "Följande språk stöds inte av OCR-motorn: swe-21" (language not supported by OCR engine)

Doesn't seem like a browser issue, but for completeness let me say that I am using Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows.

Hi, thanks for bringing this to notice! I believe the model Stockholm Notaries 1700 2.1 model has been removed from the list of public models of Transkribus. But, there are 8 other models available for Swedish (if you can go and apply the Swedish language filter on the public models page).

If you feel that any of those would help, then please raise a request using the model request form and we will add it to Wikimedia OCR :)

Thank you @PMenon-WMF. That makes a lot of sense. I created a request for the successor model version 3.0, see T344349.

Thanks! I have made the PR in T344349. The model should be available to use after the next deployment.
